Up hill; too steep is when your tires don't pull anymore or your engine quits because it can't get fuel.
Downhill? When your grill and bumper stop you.
I've seen what I would loosly call "vertical" faces climbed up and down by 4 X 4's. I have a carb so can't go as steep, I think, compared to Fuel injected. Down hill you are restricted by speed. How fast do you want to go and how long of a run-out do you have? Too long and steep of a down hill and you might develope oil pressure problems. A 45 degree slope (100% grade)should be fine for either direction. Steeper than that going down might cause an oil issue but not if momentary. If you hear it start to knock. Shut it down.
